@Andre Lewis Hi! How long have you been using R2R?

@Brent Kiger

Google “Best phone plan for digital nomads 2020.” There are tons of specialized blogs and forums on the topic. And as Josh C. pointed out, definitely look around for reliable VPN providers with tons of U.S. connection locations (they’re less likely to have their IP addresses blocked).

Hi,

I’m likely moving to the Durham area and see from the boards here that it’s a competitive market for investors. Some of the new developments have home designs that look easy to convert to duplexes. Do any of the HOAs allow this? How about Durham zoning?

I’m a newbie at investment, so I’m thinking of living in a smaller unit and renting out the rest.

@Victor Steffen I like your insights. Have you found a way to track which cities passing denser zoning legislation?

@Dennis Parslow, how's the tear-out coming along?

I'm researching buying my first rental property as a retirement investment. Since I plan to hold it for 2-3 decades, I need to take inflation into account. However, the BP Rental Property Calculator doesn't seem to do that. (Unless I missed something, which I well might have!) As a result, I'm concerned that my calculated returns are seriously inflated. That makes it hard to fit it into a good retirement portfolio analysis.  Does anyone have a workaround? I've been lowering some of the year-on-year increase projections (both income and expense) but I think that could skew results.
